Pork Loin Curry

Pork Loin Curry

Probably far from traditional, but traditions are ever evolving as far as we are concerned. There were two large Loin Chops in the offers at the local Supermarket. As there are three mouths to feed Sue de-boned them and made this pretty convincing Curry.

¼ tsp Garam Masala
¼ tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Chilli Flakes
¼ tsp Paprika
3 Dried Red Chillies soaked and then sliced finely
¼ tsp Onion Salt
¼ tsp Garlic Salt
¼ tsp Turmeric
1 large clove of Garlic minced
A Slug of Soy Sauce (Gluten free in our case)
